Great event for any teens (or adults!) interested in creative writing and storytelling - join Alex Wheatle, the brilliant Brixton Bard, as he discusses his life as a writer and his fiction, including Home Girl, the latest book in his multi-award winning Crongton series.
Home Girl is the story of Naomi, a teenage girl growing up fast (too fast) in the UK care system. Fast-paced and funny, as well as tender and tragic and full of courage, this is Alex Wheatle’s most moving and personal novel to date.
“Alex Wheatle is an inspirer. He is a vital writer. He is a prince among men. Long may he reign.” Lemn Sissay
Suitable for ages 12+
Price: £5 or £10 including a copy of Home Girl (RRP £7.99)
